I have just flashed my Nokia N800 with the OS2008 Beta.
I wish to install Kagu..
To install Kagu I need to install Python.
To install Python I need to use apt-get.
To use apt-get I need to gain root.
To gain root I need to enable R&D mode.
To enable R&D mode I need to use flasher.
To use flasher I need to boot my PC using Ubuntu Live CD
There isn't actually anything above that if I can't do if I put my mind to it, but I figure i'm 6 nested steps into what I want to achieve now, and if i've hit 6, the odds of the next step taking me down to 5 rather than 7 seem low.
Unlike many of my posts, this isn't actually a complaint. OS2008 is so damn swift its impossible to be upset. Rarely do OS updates provide a faster platform. There is little question everything will be fixed - it's a beta. If I want these things now I have to work a little harder.

Okay now i've taken a few minutes away I have renewed enthusiasm. Might just spend a few more minutes seeing if there's another way to get Python in. That would make the whole thing so much easier. Wish me luck or call me a retard for taking the wrong approach, but please, if you do that, at least pick me up and put me back on the right path.

Musing on a Sunday Evening
ebay powersellers - why do you never write in good English?
facebook - do you really think you have longevity?
facebook poker - why do you add new features and not fix minor interface problems?
kagu - i like you. I don't know why. you're not that intuitive and you don't find much album art..
canola - i still like you. you find lots of album art.
os2008 - i await your release, only to be sure i'll not install you until canola works with you.
google reader - you're great now, but i'd like a universal undo button for mark as read please.
virgin media cable - you've been working ok for a while now, but i still hate you with a passion.
blockbuster - i stayed with you a little longer for a 1 month 50% discount. This isn't over yet!
netbeans - you crank java.exe to over 100MB, but you still seem cool.
excel vba - i'm so sick of coding this for my living.
coding - i'm pretty sick of you altogether.
me - i'm ok. I'll be 27 next weekend.. Still no clearer.
